I thought over several days in the cold, even though charged, it should remain plugged in so it has home power to maintain some battery heat and conditioning.
charging amps The 2025 Nissan Leaf SV Plus is equipped with a 6.6 kW onboard charger for Level 2 charging. At 240 volts, this charger draws approximately 27.5 amps (6,600 watts ÷ 240 volts = 27.5 amps). Therefore, to achieve the maximum charging rate, your EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) should be capable of delivering at least 30 amps continuously. Your EVIQO Level 2 charger, adjustable between 2 and 40 amps, is well-suited for this purpose. Setting it to 30 amps will allow your Leaf to charge at its optimal rate. While the charger can provide up to 40 amps, the Leaf's onboard charger will only draw what it requires, which is up to 27.5 amps. Setting the EVSE to a higher amperage won't increase the charging speed but ensures the charger isn't a limiting factor. It's important to ensure that your home's electrical circuit can handle the chosen amperage. For a 30-amp continuous load, a circuit rated for at least 40 amps is recommended to comply with the National Electrical Code, which advises that continuous loads should not exceed 80% of the circuit's capacity. This means a 40-amp circuit can safely support a 32-amp continuous load. Consulting a licensed electrician can help verify that your setup meets these requirements.

That’s a good point. I agree.

Thanks for the info, very informative!
LOL. OK dude
And here I thought it was to carry extra batteries
